I must say, stunning photographs!

A very nice 1723 Dump Issue farthing, a good £50 or £60 GBP.

Shilling? Sixpence? Let's assume shilling - about £200 GBP if it didn't have the G*R but it does, so about £60 or £70.

Fantastic information YeOldeCollector, and greatly appreciated.

 

I have been told that the 1697 coin is most likely a farthing and not a half penny.

 

I realize now that I need to provide an accurate weight and diameter for these coins and will do so as soon as I get a day off from work and can liberate them from the sealed Heritage holders. Hopefully on Monday.

 

Until then here are the next two...

I suspected so, hence my diameter reference. Good luck with the ruler!

This is good news, CAMS.

Unfortunately we do not know. There have been many attempts by several members to contact him, including by post. We do hope that he is well.

I am very impressed! These are nice whim purchases. Fortunately this isn't a groat of Edward III! This is a groat of Henry V with hENRICVS on the obverse starting at 12 O'clock and a mullet on right breast. In this condition I'd say about £150GBP, nearly fine.

As for the halfpenny (depending upon diameter), it has a very large E in TERTIVS which is quite rare. About £75-£90GBP?

you know more then i do, so explain how you got to that conclusion for your guesses. because I thought the 2 Durhams were differant Monarches and the york penny was Henry IV.i did get the scottish one correct, but wasn't 100% and now i have narrowed that down, thanks.

The two Durham ones are different monarchs because the D in the centre of the reverse signifies Edward IV's second reign only. I also think it's Henry VI due to there not being a long neck or an annulet visible on the obverse. But it's hard to tell from the images.

My guess would be local dies.

Top two? Well... Edward IV for the second, perhaps, and I'll guess Henry V for the top with the York mint and quatrefoil.

The third looks to be a William the Lion Scottish piece.

Edward IV Second Reign penny of Durham mint. Cannot tell from the photos what is at the neck but look at Spink numbers 2115 through to 2123. Hope this helps.

It looks like a poor Edward IV penny to me.

I should be able to help you out.

How many do you need and where are you based?

Welcome to the forum, by the way!

It's an obvious modern replica of a Viking St Peter sword penny.

From looking at the coin it appears to be damage done after the coin left the mint and, as such, does not make this coin special.

This is a wonderful example of a brilliant portrait. A very nice acquisition!

A little pick up for me recently. I bought it for the portrait. About 18mm in diameter.

Our friend Stuart has done a nice presentation of it, too.

Mark, I hope you found my reply on my forum.

Welcome back, TG! I'm so pleased to learn that you haven't sold your typeset.

A very warm welcome, Jake!

I hope you had a great day, Tom!

Truly magnificent. The reverses are by far some of the best I've seen on patterns. Stunning, especially the detail on the eagle's plumage.

I would follow the advice you've received on Predecimal.

Katie,

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

Perhaps if you can post some photos or a list then we can point you in the correct direction.

Kindest regards,

Clive.

Wonderful.

Clive, What are you researching specifically? And I'm impressed you're talking about an example from 1917!!

I am working on a paper titled upon the iconography of Late Anglo-Saxon pennies and so this coin is perfect as it features an extra cross and pellet, perhaps representative of an ecclesiastical authority.

As for the only other example I can find, yes. It is nice to have a comparison of a coin that is over a thousand years old with one recorded nearly a hundred years ago.

Great Aethelred II penny. How rare is it to find such an item in this condition? The postcards are wonderful. It appears that you could assemble quite a nice grouping of cards just of your school and the surrounds.

Well, there only appears to be one other known coin of the exact same type, but it is possible to find more common coins of the Longcross issue in similar condition easily.

As for the cards, yes. It's good to be able to piece together a history of it through contemporaneous images.
